From the studio who brought you the number one podcast, The Pigton Massacre, this is Death Island.

Just a few miles off the Thailand coast. The island of Kotao looks like a postcard.

and his feelings towards women specifically, the treatment of women, this play influences that in a really bizarre way.

If someone theorizes of all the playwrights that it's perhaps Euripides who best aligns with modern ideas of feminism in whatever way that he can,
